The fear voiced by Pens fans was the fear of a potential move. Mario staying on has alleviated much of that (do I dare remind them that same Mario was ready to allow the KC move before the league intervened?)
Yeah, I know that it was a concern at one point, but I think Pittsburgh has established itself as a bona fide NHL city now.
That said, once Sid and Geno retire... who knows what it looks like. Maybe people stop going to games.

In Pittsburgh, as most elsewhere, I think it will depend on the level of competitiveness the team has after they leave. Like most cities these days, with the myriad of entertainment options and limited dollars available to most, if the Pens fail to field a competitive team, attendance will falter.
FSG, though, has been shrewd in their investments, both with the Bosox and with Liverpool FC (my Premier League side). I would expect nothing less when it comes to staying competitive in the NHL.
Guentzel is out, week to week with an upper body injury.

Penguins Trade: Lafferty to Chicago for former Top Prospect Nylander; Full Analysis
The Pittsburgh Penguins made the first NHL trade of 2022. Penguins GM Ron Hextall flipped hometown depth player Sam Lafferty to the Chicago Blackhawks for a formerly heralded prospect, Alex Nylander. Nylander was the 2016 eighth overall pick by the Buffalo Sabres, and a controversial one...pittsburghhockeynow.com
I really like this move. Obviously it looks like Nylander will never live up to his potential... but there's still some potential upside there. Lafferty is what he is... a bottom 6 plug.
Low risk, medium reward... love these types of deals.
